Like any other normal person, I also have my shares of 'likes'
and 'dislikes'. And needless to say, some of them can be stated
while some cannot be! My close friends will vouch for that...:-)
I like painting and collaging. It was my mother who introduced
me to the world of art at a very early age and I learnt quite a
lot from her. |

| Then I got trained
from a few professionals. Finally I started experimenting
on my own. I will include some of them out here when I
scan them! In the meantime, it is advised not to keep very
high hopes on my (master) pieces!
I have dabbled quite a lot with water colours, oils as
well as pastels and charcoal. I personally like
landscaping with water colours. Painting with water
colours can be sometimes quite tricky, specially when the
colours start mixing with each other and one gets an
undesired output! |

| Like
any typical Indian, I am an avid cricket lover. I guess
that is in our blood.
I like music, any type provided it is melodious. Some
of my close friends cannot understand how a person can
like English Rock as well as Hindi Pop and good old movie
tracks! But that is me. I like them all. Music provides a
background for me, when I do something serious like
studying/ programming. I have a wish and that is to learn
one music instrument so well that I can make others happy.
Lets see when I accomplish that! |

| Ohh.. I have a
dubious ability! Give me any kind of junk, and promise I
can convert them into something which can beautify your
drawing room! When I was a school kid, I used to make very
elaborate things (building, car, houseboat, castle, truck
etc.) with cardboards. I am quite good at that, you can
have reasonably high hopes on that.
Did I say that I like computer games quite a lot ?
Well, if not ask my friend and roomie at SPJIMR: Kaps (Sundeep). I
have played so many of them; but one game simply stands
out - TETRIS (Download
now!). Yes, this is one game Subbu, Kaps and I used to
play so much at SP... only the keyboard knows! Bad luck
dear keyboard! Kaps was the best, followed by Subbu and
then me. And we were never far from each other which made
the situation more competitive. |

| I like trekking a
lot. And walking also. I get pure thrill from these
activities. I started trekking at a very early age. I and
my friends would go to small hillocks nearby and
feel great. Then I had the experience of participating in
High Altitude Trekking (HALT) when I was in Tata Steel. We
went to Uttarkashi in Uttranchal. Spending a few days on
snow near Dodital was a unique experience for
me. We climbed to a height of about 12500 ft. In addition
to that, I have trekked quite a lot in the Karjat region
of Sahayadri hills in Maharashtra with my close friends
Kaps, Debu, Subbu et al. You may like to read
this .
On a serious note, I like to play Bridge. My father
introduced me to this game when I was enjoying my first
summer vacation from IIT KGP. Till date my best partner
has been Shuvro (IIT KGP - EE - AZAD - 97). |

| I just love reading, more so if it is Science
related or oriented. I have a reasonably big collection already. I
love my books as much as their contents and so at my home, my
books are accorded highest priority in terms of care. It also
helps that my parents also have the same feeling. Check out my all time favourites.
I like taking notes in the class. I guess it is an art: jotting
down while listening and understanding. I do a good job of that.
Add to that the facts that my handwriting is good most of the
times and the fact that I use small fonts, my notes have always
been in great demand before the exams. :-) |
| My friends
from IIT KGP EE, Tata Steel and SPJIMR will certainly acknowledge
that. What do you say, buddies ? |
